Heat butter in a large saucepot and saute leeks and onion for 5 minutes. Add carrots, celery and turnips and continue cooking for 10 minutes.
Remove fat and fell from lamb and grind meat in a food processor with the steel blade or a grinder. (Or buy already ground lamb.)

Add the meat to vegetables and cook and stir to keep meat from lumping, until it is lightly browned. Sprinkle flour over meat to absorb fat.

Meanwhile, cover barley with boiling water and let stand 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Add to vegetables and meat with 1 cup chicken broth. Cover and let steam over low heat 10 minutes. Add remaining chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until barley is tender.

Couldn't resist one last visit here and am glad I did because I was able to add a new recipe to my personal collection - didn't have the Hula Hoop yet.

I seem to remember the poster saying the ESPN cucumber salad is sweet/sour rather than only sour. The sweet/sour dressing is typically how Germans dress cucumber salad and is how I know it. The above recipe is OK but is not the same.

Probably not the right one again, but here is another one I can across...

-Cut cucumber in half, seed, slice fine, and place in a stainless steel bowl
-Add salt, mix well, and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
-Drain water from cucumber and mix with onions and tobatoes.
-Add 1/4 cup od vanilla dressing (reserve the rest) and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-In the center of a large plate, mound the tomatoe, cucumber, and red onion and drizzle 2 tablespoons of melon vinaigrette around them.
-Top with the arugula tossed with 2 tablespoons of vanilla dressing.

That is what I was planning to do until my ds came home and said "no desserts". Now I am stuck since we need to do a main dish. I am guessing maybe a shrimp with citrus. I would like to use a Disney recipe as I thought it would be fun to combine a regional food with a regional tourist attraction. Gotta get him an A on the report.

Found one more... It is an old one, but is sweet & sour (I think), yet not German.

-Combine cucumbers, salt, and vinegar and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. In a separate bowl, mix heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, and sesame oil. Beat until of medium consistency. Drain cucumbers well and add dressing and chives. To serve, place salad on lettuce leaves, garnish with parsley, radishes and sesame seeds.

My grandma (German) used to make a cucumber salad. We still make it today, yet we don't have a recipe for it. It is both sweet and sour! We peel and slice the cucumbers up. Slice up an onion and add it to the cucumbers. Soak them in salt water for about 30 minutes. Drain some of the water off and add cider vinegar and sugar. In the summer if we have fresh tomatoes we add wedges of tomato. Depending on who makes them they all taste different. My dad and I prefer them much more sour so we drain more water and add more vinegar. Once in a while they take your breath away! My mom perfers them sweeter. They are better the longer they sit. The love the leftovers the next day or even a couple days later!

Not sure about the cost of this one, but it is the shrimp/citrus thing from Disney!

-Melt butter in a skillet or saute pan over high heat. Stir in harissa, then add shrimp and saute about 3 to 5 minutes until shrimp are pink, firm, and slightly opaque.
-To serve, garnish with cilantro. Delicious with rice, couscous, or bulgur wheat.

-Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender to make a paste. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Note: You can buy roasted peppers or make your own. To roast at home, cut pepper in halves or quarters; remove seeds and membranes. Place on a foil-lined roasting pan. Broil skin-side up until skins are blackened. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let pepper steam and cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Peel and discard the skins.

How about a coconut shrimp with an orange marmalade dipping sauce? Not sure if there is a Disney recipe for this or not.

Thanks for the replies. I went to the Orlando Sentinel website and looked up recipes. I found one for a Carribean Layered Chicken Salad that sounded really good, plus I don't have to worry about keeping it hot. I am just going to add Orange to it instead of Mangos and that should be Floribbean.

I appreciate your help since it got the brain juices flowing and reading all the posted recipes was great.

Thanks also to LynninPA for your work on this thread. Can't wait to try some of the recipes for my own family.

Could you post the Carribean layered chicken salad recipe??? I would LOVE to try it!

I would say that the Breakfast Pizza at CM and at CP are from the same recipe. Of course, I could be wrong but they tasted exactly the same to me! By the way, I grew up in Barrington! Am in Warwick now.

Cut bread into 1 inch cubes, place in loaf pan. In a mixing bowl, combine eggs and sugar. Mix well. Add softened butter, cream, salt and cinnamon. Pour custard over bread cubes. Press down so custard soaks in well. Place soft butter on top of bread. Bake in a water bath at 325 degrees for approx. one hour until golden brown and custard is firm. Serve with vanilla sauce.
